Replacing/fixing multi-function sensor wire

After toubleshooting my A/C quite a bit (the A/C does not cool or heat the car at all, just blows air), I found that the multi-function sensor plug and wire was chewed off by some animal (this must of happened before I bought the car, since the A/C never worked).

Due to the above, this causes STAR to throw the diagnostic message: Unable to communicate with multi-function sensor B/31.

How should I go about fixing this? The sensor is there, it's just that the wire and plug that goes into the sensor is missing/chewed off. So there's about 6-8 inches of missing wire, and the plug that plugs into the sensor housing.

Can you get a plug from a junk yard? then splice the wires.

Yeah, I figured I would have to do that, but I was curious to see if any of you guys have come across this or would know if someone somewhere sells the part haha. Thanks!

You can get a new receptacle housing and wires with sockets already crimped from the dealer. Not too expensive, but they will have to order.
